Balak “Balak == waste,destruction” Pt 7: Numbers 24:14-25:9
Bilaam continues his blessing, and the people fall into sin again. Bilaam sees Messiah coming, but only as a king who will deliver Israel from the surrounding nations; so, he only is open to seeing so much. Then, the people fall in with temple prostitutes, and one man even brings the woman into the Tent of Meeting, where Pinchas son of Aaron kills them both with a spear.
We need be consistent in following Yahveh; Bilaam fell short in his understanding, and in the end, will die an enemy of Yahveh; the people lost sight of who they were, an let themselves fall short of their own identity and purpose.
We need to keep always in mind that we are children of the Most High, redeemed by Him, and live as those who are called to reflect His love, His joy, His peace.
